• It is always interesting to reflect on David Hockney's views on smoking in the Guardian (Letters, 28 February). I respect his views, but I would ask that he in turn respects the general public's lungs, heart, kidneys and any other organ you might care to mention. The unnecessary illness and death caused by passive smoking is well documented – the chances of living life to the full are greater without smoking (that is not dull as Hockney suggests). My artistic abilities are basic, but I have attached a response to his letter in a picture (above).

• As a member of the medical profession, I thought Mr Hockney would appreciate a reply in the same medium (above).
